eeeek: Snow is melting quickly. Yosemite Falls is running as big as I've ever seen it with the water being brown.

any pics? Did the crowds subside for the weekday? Are the other falls as impressive? Is the big ice mound at the base of Upper Yosemite falls melted and gone? (all q's I have been wondering about since I was there a month ago)

I'll probably take a picture of Yosemite Falls tomorrow. The crowds bothered me yesterday and we went to Hetch Hetchy today. I'm going to try to take some flower pictures on 140 too; it's very good right now.

> L-L-Logs??? Was this during one of the big flood years (94-96,> I think)

No, it was a decade or so earlier and about this time of year. We were in the last group that made it out before the roads completely closed for three days. While driving by Bridalveil water was slapping at the floor boards of my Honda.

were you using a tripod for the YF pic? It feels like it has a slight lean to it (or my equalibrium could be off) Also, what lens dimensions did you use -- does not have any of that wide angle stretch to it.

Vince,

I, um, have a dial-up...soooo...Its gonna take 'til next week until I can view yer pic!

I didn't use a tripod and had trouble getting the vertical right so it could be off a bit. Follow the link at the bottom of the picture to see the data.

Actually, going back to look at that one the trees appear to be vertical. So it's probably just an illusion in this case.
